Fuel pump? That cured my friends problem but he had an SR20.

Vac leak, bad plugs, or bad battery connections. Start there. Still doing it, do a compression test.

My CA is perfectly healthy, and sometimes, she just don't wanna start. Ususally this time of year too when the air is hella humid. CAs have a very rich cold start map, so most of us have some sort of issue. Espcially since most of us don't run 100% factory configurations (boost controll solenoid, secondary port actuation, etc), so the car runs a bit odd at times.

Does the car idle up to 1500-2000rpm when you start it? If not there is a fast idle valve below the TB that is probably stuck shut. It's relativly common for them to fail.
